“…Colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis in symptomatic patients attended in primary healthcare is like looking for a needle in a haystack: symptoms are extremely frequent but CRC is rare [1]. The diagnosis of CRC is based on colonoscopy, an invasive technique with limited availability and associated with severe complications in 1/ 1000 patients [2]. The delay in the diagnosis may worsen prognosis [3] or, at least, produce anxiety.…”

“…There is already evidence that FIT is a useful tool for the diagnosis of CRC that helps to identify symptomatic patients requiring early colonoscopy [4][5][6][7]17]. In fact, the diagnostic guidance (DG30) of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and other clinical practice guidelines recommend its use for the assessment of patients with lower gastrointestinal symptoms [2,15]. Despite this, according to our results, the FIT had been used as a diagnostic tool by general practitioners only in 20.7% (n = 317) of all the cases of CRC diagnosed in symptomatic patients, and only 18.3% (n = 279) of cases of CRC were diagnosed after a positive FIT.…”

“…In recent years, it has been shown that the FIT is a test that identifies, among symptomatic patients, those with the highest risk of having CRC [12,13] and that faecal haemoglobin is the most important factor to be considered when deciding which patients presenting in primary care with lower bowel symptoms would benefit most from referral for colonoscopy [14]. Therefore, its use has been recommended for the assessment of patients with low gastrointestinal symptoms [2,15].…”

“…El cáncer colorrectal (CCR) es una de las neoplasias más frecuentes en los países occidentales. En Argentina es el segundo de mayor mortalidad en ambos sexos con más de 7.000 fallecimientos anuales 1,2,23 . Es una enfermedad que se beneficia de programas de prevención en pacientes de riesgo promedio o elevado, ya que los mismos permiten reducir su incidencia y mortalidad.…”

“…Las últimas evidencias sugieren que la incidencia de CCR está aumentando en adultos menores a 50 años hasta en un 51%, representando del 7-15 % del total de los CCR 13 . En base a esta evidencia la mayoría de las guías actuales sugieren iniciar el SCCR a los 45 años en personas de riesgo promedio, y se espera que las próximas muestras de pacientes estén constituidas por individuos más jóvenes 23,24 . No se encontró una asociación significativa en pertenecer a un grupo de riesgo y la ausencia o presencia de pólipos.…”
